All language subtitles for OFM1992

- Who is it?
- Fantasia.

Hey, girl.

- I thought you were going to star city.
- I am tonight.

You think you're bad with that camera.

Come on, Bobby.

Ya'ii messing up my picture
with your lousy dancing.

Bobby, look who's here.

Hey Bobby.

- How you doing?
- I'm fine.

- Is ray with you?
- No.

- That's good.
- That's real good.

You know you're always welcome here.
You got here just in time.

Bobby's about to blow out
the candles on his birthday cake.

It's your birthday? How old are you, 60?

That's your IQ, woman.

This is Darren and Danielle.

Oh, shit. I left my purse in the car.
I'll be right back.

What's this swinging
thing you guys are doing?

Everybody get on the floor and be quiet.

- What the fuck's going on?
- Get on the floor, goddamn it!

Let go, ray.

Down.

Fantasia!

Honey, just be quiet
and everything will be okay.

- Where does Marco live?
- I don't know, ray.

- I said, where does he live?
- I don't know.

- Where, goddamn it?
- I don't know!

How do you get your shit? Does it fly
over here? I said where does he live.

- Ray, would you please just...
- You don't know nothing about this.

If we tell anybody where Marco lives,
he'll kill us.

What do you think we're going to do?

Tell me or I'll slap your head off.

Leave us alone!

You don't have to hit her like that.

Tell him and everything will be okay.

Jackie don't know where Marco's staying.
I deal with him, she don't.

Leave her alone and I'll tell you.

Who is it?

It's Bobby, Marco.

I've got to get something from you tonight.

- Bobby, what'd I tell you about
coming by here this late at night, man.

I gotta get something
from you tonight, man.

Come on in here, man.

This is a pretty woman you got here.
Goddamn she is so pretty.

Look at those titties. I like those.

Ray, what are you doing?

- Hey, man!
- I want some of this.

What you want is on that table.
I got $200 in my wallet. Take it.

- I ain't fucking around.
- Take the money and the coke.

- This is lighter fluid.
- You're sick.

I'll fuck her up.
I don't want your little $200.

Fuck you. I don't want your $200.

Stop it, man!

- Then you got the money?
- Put it out!

- I'll light her up! Fuck you!
- Put it out!

Fuck you!

Motherfucker!

Goddamn.

Goddamn.

They got a fucking kid.

Goddamn it, you motherfucker.
Where's your goddamn kid?

Where's your goddamn kid?

Fantasia, go look for this fucking kid.
We can't leave a kid around here.

I already been all over the house, ray.

I don't give a shit! Go look for him.
He might be hiding some place.

Mommy! Mommy!

Honey, what's wrong? What is it, baby?

It's okay, daddy's here.

What's wrong with her?

You okay? I'll take her in our room.

Are you okay?

Dale, are you coming to bed?

Yeah, I'll be right there.

Oh, good. Come on, dud,
let's get to the wallets.

Watch your feet.

I'm sorry, I need a name.

Let's do this body first.
I think this is our stranger.

Who do we got?

John, meet Robert post.

How do you do, Robert?

Watch your feet.

We're out of here.

- Isn't that a light in Robert's window?
- Yeah. At 10:00 in the morning.

You got anything on that tape?

Some background voices.

You?

Not very.

So how did you ID this ray Malcolm?

A neighbour recognised
Ray's car parked out front.

- Did they see him?
- Mm-mm.

She did see a black guy with glasses
come out, get in Ray's car and split.

Didn't know Ray's last name. Said he was
staying with some dopers. We checked it out.

Can he separate it?

- Not yet. Is that Ray's package?
- Mm-hmm.

So who's this black guy?

They call him pluto.

Evidently he's been hanging with ray
for the last couple of weeks.

They say he's from out of town.

Pluto? That's it?

For now.

Who's the girl?

- Fantasia.
- Bullshit.

Good-looking. Ray's old lady.

Here.

Listen to this.

Hey, girl. I thought you were going
to star city tonight.

Bobby, look who's here.

Sounds like she said,
"I thought you're going to..." What?

It sounds like she's saying,
"I thought you were going to star city."

Then the other girl says, "I am" something.
Play that again.

Hey, girl.

- I thought you were going to star city.
- I am tonight.

Does sound like star city.
"I thought you were going to star city."

Dud, check this out.

A robbery arrest from '79.

In case of emergency, notify...

"Jeremiah Malcolm. Relationship: Uncle.

"Star city, Arkansas." I'll be damned.

Jimmy?

Jimmy, you there?

Yeah, Dale. Come on back.

I'm just coming back from the courthouse.
I checked the records on ray Malcolm.

He was born here, all right,
but hasn't lived here in 20 years.

I'm heading out to
the uncle's place right now.

Do me a favour. Call Charlie,
tell him to come to work early tonight.

Tell him I'm staying out there
in case those folks show up.

And Jimmy?

If they do, man, we're gonna be
laying for 'em.

Damn, this could be a big one.
I'll talk to you later. 10-4.

Just give their names,
ray Malcolm and Lane "pluto" Franklin.

Give a description of the girl.
Say the victims were stabbed to death.

How many stab wounds?

No, don't mention that.
Or the hog-tying or the pillowcases.

- What about the three other victims?
- Just say they were strangled.

What about the kid?

Don't mention the kid.
Just say there was a survivor.

And that we think the suspects fled
the state. Might get us national coverage

and make it hard for them to travel.

Homicide.

You got to give me something.
The press is all over my butt.

Okay.

- Say they're as violent as we've seen.
- Really?

Thank you.

What's the story on this star city thing?

Somebody, come on. Dud.

You think it'd be a wild goose chase
if you went down there?

I don't know. We've been lucky so far.
And we can tie ray there.

I talked to the police chief in star city.
He didn't know of ray or fantasia

but he thought he'd heard of the uncle
and he was gonna check him out.

- I'm just waiting for his phone call back.
- Good.

What about an ID on the second suspect?

They call him pluto.
His real name is Lane Franklin.

He's originally from Chicago.

He and ray got busted
about six years ago

for another drug rip off. Same shit.

They ended up doing two years together
in San Quentin.

Prison buddies.

Pluto's a piece of work.

IQ of 150 and a college graduate.

We think he's the one
who did the stabbings.

His package indicates that he's, uh,
very fond of a knife.

He's got three priors.

And for some reason,
he left the videotape playing.

- Sick son of a bitch.
- Evidently.

He knew we couldn't lift those damn prints,
so he left a damn calling card.

Yes, he's here.

Dud.

Cole here.

Yeah, but him through.

Chief Dixon, this is dud...

I'm fine, thank...

Put him on the box so we can all here him.
What did you say his name was?

Chief Dale Dixon. Chief,
I'm gonna put you on the speaker phone.

We have chief Jenkins here.

Chief Jenkins?

Los Angeles chief of police, Jenkins?

No shit. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Good to meet you, chief Dixon.

- Now what we want to talk about...
- Guess you're pretty busy out there.

- Sure.
- I'll bet.

You got six people dead out there
at the same time.

We don't get much out that down here.

Sometimes we get a stabbing.
Coloured boys, generally.

Just like out there.

Every other Saturday night...

One of them sticks another one
over a card game.

- Chief Dixon, we should discuss the...
- Craps sometimes.

Now you wanted to know about this
boy's uncle. I think we hit the jackpot.

I just come back from the uncle's place.
It's the damnedest hideout I've ever seen.

It's out in the woods, about six
and a half miles northeast of town.

The only way out there is over this old,
rickety bridge.

You'd never find it
if you didn't know where to look.

You city boys would be lost in ten minutes.

But I'll be ready,
you don't have to worry about that.

Damn, Bonnie.

- Excuse me?
- Nothing.

They were out of onion rings,
so I got you tasty taters.

It's L.A., Cheryl Ann.
Chief Jenkins and them.

Yes, sir.

You think this will be a promising Avenue
of investigation?

It's promising all right. Me and
my deputies can set up a surveillance now.

Chief Dixon, why don't we hold off on that
until we get a game plan.

Well, if you say so.

I wanna...

It's my job, chief. It's my job.

We're gonna get these sons of bitches.
I'll be waiting on you.

What are you two doing here?
When did you guys get back?

- Oh, Wednesday night.
- Wednesday night?

That's no honeymoon.
You should have stayed longer.

Earl had to get back to work
and I'm starting a new job next week.

Is that right?
What you gonna be doing?

Keeping books down at the rice mill.
Muriel finally retired

and I went down and talked to old man hosey
and he hired me on the spot.

- You guys take it easy.
- Take it easy.

Oh, that's good.
Well, congratulations.

- Thank you, Dale.
- We better be going.

Okey-doke.

You want some of this, baby?

Why don't you put some clothes on?

I told you to put some clothes on.

Ray, you know those people are dead.

Those people are dead.

No shit.

And you were there.

Don't forget that.

I told you to put some goddamn clothes on,
didn't I?

We got enough of this shit
to last us till 1995.

We got enough to last
until we get to Houston.

We're not selling all this shit.

We're selling it to Billy in Houston.

I'm going back to Chicago.
I don't give a fuck what you do.

It don't make no sense
riding up and down the road.

What do you think will happen?
Are we going to get in trouble?

I was planning to sell some to
them country sons of bitches in Arkansas.

Man, I don't like this Arkansas shit.

We'll be in and out. Don't worry.

We're not building a house.

It's not a problem, pluto.
What you worried about?

What the fuck do you think?

I don't get you, baby.

Why don't you loosen up
and have some fun?

Why don't you get high with ray and me?

Don't you want to feel good?

This is the biggest thing
that ever happened to us.

And you're just sitting there
like a little brown turd.

Goddamn it!

Watch yourself, ray.

Listen up, motherfucker. Listen up!

This is what's gonna happen. We're
going to Houston and selling the shit...

Because this little $15,000 won't last.

Until then, I'm gonna hold onto the blow.

And ray, I don't want to hear
any more bullshit out of you...

Or her.

You son of a bitch!

Fucking son of a bitch!

Why don't you just go to sleep,
mother fucker?

You know what your forgot?
You forgot one fucking thing.

You forgot about the goddamn money.

See, I got all the goddamn money,
mother fucker.

You keep that little $15,000, ray.

No, he's right, baby.

We should sell the stuff in Houston.
Think of all that money.

We'll be okay, baby.
Pluto, he knows people in Chicago.

We can live off that money for a long time.

Come on, baby, it's going to be okay.

We can buy all the blow we want
when we get there.

We'll be safe.

Pluto will take care of us.

We'll be safe, baby.

It's really beautiful, man.

It's really green as hell.

You know I'm a country boy, John.

That's a bunch of crap.
You were born in la.

Malibu.

Howdy.

Dale Dixon.

Welcome to star city, boys.

We got a full day ahead of us, so if
you'll just follow me over to the motel

we'll get you unpacked
and get you something to eat.

You know, as soon as I saw you guys drive by,
I knew you must be the boys from California.

Cops look the same everywhere, I guess.

Follow me.

Oh, shit.

You boys are in for a treat now.

Say, fern, can you bring us
some extra biscuits, too?

- Sure thing, hurricane.
- Oh and some more coffee, too.

She just call you hurricane?

Yes, some folks call me that.
I never have figured out why.

I figure we can wait up in the woods.
When the bad folks show up.

We'll put the stopper
in the bottle like that.

Those folks will be sorry they ever heard
of star city, Arkansas.

This is good.

My mother used to make food like this.

Thanks. How's Walter?

He had his gallbladder taken out yesterday.

Good for him. I'll be giving you boys
100 percent cooperation.

Me and my two deputies...

We'll take turns watching the place
around the clock.

So you boys can just relax, drink beer,
chase chicks, whatever you want to do.

We'll help.

- We'll help you.
- Suit yourself.

Another thing. Old man Malcolm...

I guarantee he don't know Jack-shit
about all this stuff with his nephew.

Did you talk to him?

Not yet. I just know. There aren't even
any telephone lines up to that old place.

He's like a hermit.
Hardly ever steps foot off his property.

I think we ought to talk to him
and let him know.

- That may be the case, but...
- Charlie! Get on in here.

- Charlie's my deputy. Retired police officer.
- Morning, guys.

Charlie, this is dud Cole.

- How are you, dud?
- Pleasure, Charlie.

And this is Dan. Dan macintosh.

Nice to meet you, Dan.

Uh, John. John mcfeely.

Oh, yeah right. Mcfeely.

All them Mac names
sound alike to me.

- Charlie, you had breakfast yet?
- Yeah, Jocelyn fixed me...

Charlie's a goddamn yankee from Detroit.

But he's a good ol' boy.

Listen, Dale, if we talk to this guy
and he's actually involved...

- I already told he don't know...
- Hurricane. I mean, Dale.

These are dangerous people
we're dealing with.

I understand that.

Well, you boys about ready?

Just a second.

Here you go, fern.

Keep the change.

Well there ain't no change here, hurricane.
It's a $12 check...

And you just give me a ten!

I'll catch you later.

Is he gone?

I haven't had a full meal
since I met the son of a bitch.

He's gone.

Go ahead, Jimmy.

It's Harlan chi/dress. Lureen called.
He's raising hell.

I'm on a case here. Unless he's trying
to kill her, I don't have time.

She said he's trying to kill her.

I'm just letting you know.

Okay, 10-4.

Hop in, boys. We got to make a little stop
before we head out to the Malcolm place.

Open this door!

Goddamn it! Lureen!

Harlan! Goddamn it.

Hadan!

- Settle down, Harlan!
- Let go!

Harlan, goddamn it!

You calm down now. Calm down.

Do you want to take a ride with me?

- You settle down right now.
- He went out all night drinking, hurricane.

What are those men doing here?

It's okay, Lureen.

She locked me out!

I understand.

I understand that now.

Now, look.

You were out all night drinking.

You knew she was gonna do this,
didn't you?

If you say you're sorry,
I bet she'll let you in.

He knows I will.

We'll go to church on Sunday
and he'll feel a whole lot better.

All right, Lureen.

- You're not gonna let them take him away?
- They're with me. They're from la.

Get up. Pull yourself together, okay?
Come on.

Come on. Get up.

Okay, now come here.

Do me a favour.
Put this axe back in the shed.

- Okay.
- All right?

I don't want to have to come back
out here. Are you gonna be okay?

Yeah, I'm okay.

All right.

You put that axe in the shed.
And fix this window.

- Tell Cheryl Ann and the baby I said hi.
- Tell them hi.

- Sorry about the window.
- That's all right.

It's okay, boys.
Hell, I'm out here twice a week.

Man...

Motherfucker!

Goddamn it! They know me now.
Are you aware of that, bitch?

They know my face, my name,
probably how long my dick is!

A goddamn kid! Why didn't you tell me
about that fucking kid?

I swear to god, I didn't see any kid!

I didn't see any kid!
He must have been hiding real good.

Quit lying to me!

Don't hit me no more.
Pluto, don't let him hit me no more.

Get rid of her, ray.

We're gonna be okay, baby.

- Oh shut the fuck up.
- We'll get rid of the car. They won't find us.

They're not gonna find you maybe!

They're not gonna find us!

- We're gonna be okay.
- Get your goddamn hand off of me.

We'll be okay.

Isn't there another way around here, Dale?

Watch your step.
There's some rotten timbers up ahead.

Yeah, rotten timber.

I crashed my motorcycle
on this bridge when I was 14.

Is that right.

They had to call the volunteer
fire department to put it out.

You can still see some of the burn marks.

Perfect hideout.

- You think the old man's there?
- Yeah.

- I wonder who else is there.
- Good, he's by himself.

- Dale, wait a minute.
- Hey, Dale.

It's okay, boys. Come on.

How you doing?

You doing all right?

- I said, are you doing all right?
- I'm doing all right today.

That's good. You remember me?

I'm chief Dixon.

I'm fixing to do what?

I said, I'm chief Dixon.

I'm fixing to feed these chickens
before it gets too damn hot.

Have you heard from your nephew lately?

Have you heard from ray Malcolm?

Ray Malcolm? That's my brother's boy.
I reckon I heard of my own kin.

Has he talked to you lately?
When was the last time you talked to him?

- Talked to who?
- Ray Malcolm.

Ray Malcolm, that's my brother's boy.

I got to finish feeding these chickens. It
gets hot as hell around here at noontime.

I hope you and them chickens
have a goddamn heatstroke.

Can I help you boys?

"I'm fixing to feed these chickens."

I say, "have you heard from ray Malcolm?"
Put that on daddy's plate, sweetheart.

He says, "ray Malcolm that's my nephew.

"My brother's boy.
I guess I heard of my own kin."

So I said... here you go, honey.

So I said, "have you spoken to him?"
He said, "spoke to who?"

I said, "ray Malcolm.“
He said, "Ray's my brother's boy.“

can you imagine the conversation
when ray shows up on his front porch.

- Ya'll have some rolls?
- Yes ma'am.

Is this great or what?

This is great, Cheryl Ann.

There you go.

I hope to hell he does show up.
'Cause I got news for you.

That piece of white trash and
them two niggers are in for...

Cheryl Ann, you nearly broke my...

Bonnie, pass me them pickles, will ya?

I never got any beans.
Could I get some now please?

Did you think I was
going to cut you, honey?

I wouldn't hurt you
for anything in the world.

Here.

I'm glad you didn't kill that man
in the car lot.

What do you think we are?

Fuck all that, Dale. It don't mean nothing.

What I'm concerned about is that we left
ourselves so goddamn exposed.

So just out there.

Aw, hell. Anybody could tell
that old man wasn't...

You can't assume anything about anybody.
That's the guy that's gonna fuck you.

- Damn right.
- Shit...

I've been police chief here for...

Hell, going on, uh... six years.

I've never even had to draw my gun.

Come kiss your favourite mommy.

Get in the bed.

Get in there.

- See you in the morning, okay?
- Goodnight, mommy.

Enjoying yourself?
Getting enough to eat and drink?

Well, just about.

That's your second bottle isn't it?

Yes, it is.

Dud, I want to apologise
for that last comment before.

I bet John feels terrible.

Dale didn't really mean anything by it.
He just grew up talking that way.

Well, I understand.

I'm sure John does, too.

These people are pretty dangerous,
aren't they?

Yes ma'am, they are.

I've never seen Dale this excited before.

I guess this is about the biggest thing
that's ever happened to him.

This case I mean.

He really likes you and John. I can tell.

I think he looks at ya'll like you're
some kind of heroes or something.

Well, we're far from that.

You might want to tell him that then.
If you know what I mean.

I've got a little girl in there
who needs her daddy.

Dale doesn't know any better.
He watches TV. I read non-fiction.

- Well hey.
- Hey.

- Hey John. Whaddya say we head back?
- Yeah.

- Oh no, come on guys, the night is young.
- We gotta head.

- Who wants cookies?
- We all do.

- Nah we wouldn't...
- Oh come on!

- Very serious meal.
- They're in here.

Okay.

- Excuse me, man. I gotta go pee.
- Pee off the porch.

Yeah, like shit.

You know, Dale...

This whole case is our problem.

I mean...

What I'm saying is,
you can be as involved or...

Uninvolved in the actual apprehension
of these guys as you want.

Assuming they show up.

Well if they do, I'll be there.

You got a nice spot here.

Nice house, nice family.

You're a lucky guy.

Well sir, I guess I am a lucky guy at that.

You know I hardly ever lose a coin toss.

I go to the horse races,
bet a long shot and it always comes in.

My mom used to always tell me
I was born under a lucky star.

Be...

There's an article in here about Julia
from dark memories.

That ain't Julia.
That's that damn twin sister.

Evil as hell.

No, it's not.

Hey ma'am, can you tell him who this is?

That's Julia, on dark memories.

I told you. You got any maps of Houston?

You don't need no damn map of Houston.

Be cool.

How are you, bill?

It's real quiet out there.

I think we got
the two most exciting jobs in town.

Your other burrito is ready, baby.

He's watching me. He knows who I am.

- No, he doesn't.
- He does.

Baby, let's go.

Listen, back up. Just back up.

Ray, stop it. Stop it.

You'll never get me up on a horse.

Ray, stop it.

- Get your hand off me.
- No, let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go, okay?

Don't fuck up, man.

- Will that be all for ya?
- That's it.

Hope you don't mind
that we opened things up.

As long as you pay for it.

Not planning on drinking that beer
and driving are you?

No, we wouldn't do that. This is for later.

Just kidding.

$7.95, please.

- Ya'll have a nice night.
- Ya'll, too.

She's too young for you, bill.

I like them young.

Shit! That trooper is behind us, man.

Just be cool.

What do we do if he pulls us over?

He ain't gonna pull us over.

Slow down, ray. Don't panic.

He recognised me back there, man.
I know he did.

If he recognised you, he would have
arrested you in the store.

He's just looking us over.

A white boy and a nigger girl in Texas.
That's all it is.

And now he's probably running our plates.

Five-42.

Five-42, go ahead.

On your out-of—state plate, new Mexico
licence number Nora-Edward-2-4-5,

apparently the vehicle
is recently purchased.

There are no warrants and there's
no current registration available.

10-4. Could you check the teletype board
for the last couple of days?

I seem to recall a
teletype from California...

Of a male and female black...

And a male white,
wanted for a couple of murders.

Speed up, ray.
You'll make him suspicious.

Speed up, slow down.
Make up your fucking mind.

Have you found that teletype yet?

Still looking, 5 -42.

10-4.

Five-42.

I'm gonna go ahead and pull them on over.

What are we gonna do?

- I'll blow his goddamn head off.
- We're gonna pull over.

We're gonna be cool,
we're gonna play it by ear.

We're not gonna kill him unless we have to.

We're not gonna be stupid.

Could I see your licence and registration?

Hi, it's you again.

You've got a California licence
and new Mexico plates and registration.

We had California plates...

But our car broke down in new Mexico
so we had to get a new car.

Told you it wouldn't make it, ray.

But he wouldn't listen to me.

This one will make it though.

Make it where?

Philadelphia. My mother lives there.
She's sick.

Ray's my boyfriend, so he got stuck
with the job of taking me there.

Richard's our friend.
He's just along for the ride.

We weren't speeding or anything were we?

No, ma'am.

Well what the fuck
did you stop us for then?

I want you to get out of the car,
one at a time.

You first, ma'am.

Get your hands up!

Hey, calm down. You said, "get out.
You first, man," right?

You step around to the rear of the car
and keep your hands where I can see 'em.

You said, "get out of the car,"
that's all I'm doing.

What's wrong with you?
You told us to get out.

Ray, do what the man says.

Stay where you are, ma'am.
Now you put your hands on the car.

Spread 'em out.

Now spread your legs.

Okay, same thing, hands on the car.

Spread your legs.

Okay, ma'am, I need to back here too.

- Hey why don't you tell us what we did...
- Keep your hands on the car!

All right.

Okay, now ma'am...

Goddamn right! Yes, baby! Yes!
You motherfucker!

Let's go! Get her in the car.
Come on! Now!

You motherfucker!

Pluto, man, we're going the wrong way.
We're going back toward town. Turn around.

- Ray, did I kill that man back there?
- Yes, baby, but you did a good job.

Pluto, what the fuck are you doing?
You're going the wrong goddamn way!

The car's been ID'd right?
So we gotta get rid of it.

Yes, you killed him, goddamn it.
You killed him.

Would you fucking turn the car around?
We're going the wrong fucking way!

Then we're gonna pass the motherfuckers,
though, don't you understand that?

- We're gonna pass the cops! They'll see us!
- Ray, we got no fucking choice.

We head out of town, they're gonna
catch us. Now just shut the fuck up.

- Morning.
- Morning.

- How are you boys?
- I got a hangover, but...

- What do we got?
- Nothing. Quiet as a Sunday morning.

What time did you get here?

Oh hell, I came and relieved Charlie
around 4:00. Ya'll want some coffee?

- Ah, no thanks.
- No thank you.

Hey, dud?

Listen, I was thinking about
what you was talking about last night.

- I can understand now why you're pissed off.
- No, I wasn't pissed off exactly.

No, no, no, it's okay, you're right.
I mean, hell.

If that old man hadn't been deaf,
I could have blown the case.

Well, I don't know.
There's two sides to that.

No, I made a mistake. You know more
about this sort of thing than I do.

I don't want you thinking that
we're incompetent down here in star city.

Well let me tell you, Dale, you got
the energy and dedication of ten cops.

No shit.

Say, dud?

Let me ask you about something else
I was thinking about.

If I'm full of shit, you just tell me,
all right?

- All right.
- Well, sir...

I've been thinking about moving out to la.
And joining up.

Joining up with what?

The police department. I've been on
the force down here since I was grown.

After ten years of busting peeping Toms,
I'd like to take a crack at the big time.

I realise getting on the force out there
is no walk in the park, but...

I figure after we wrap up this big case
here and with your recommendation...

Well, who knows?

I think you and me and macintosh
could make a hell of a team.

That's, umm...
That's an interesting idea.

- Well?
- How you doing, hurricane?

Hi Larry.

Hey, dud, this is Larry Gibson,
he's our local smokey.

Larry, this is dud Cole. He's from la.

- How are you?
- Good, Larry.

Last night, some folks killed
a Texas state trooper in Odessa.

Says here they got reason to believe
they headed for Houston.

Seems to me, they fit the description
of the folks you boys are after.

Son of a bitch.

We may even have a photograph of 'em.
They were in a convenience store earlier.

- Surveillance camera?
- Yeah, I think so.

Texas.

Looks like they're headed our way, boys.

- You got another cup?
- Well, sure.

- You don't mind drinking after me?
- No, not at all.

Goddamn. Texas.

Do you think it was our people
whacked that state trooper?

We'll know as soon we get the photo.

Hurricane is waiting on the bad guys
the way a kid waits for Christmas.

Yeah well, hurricane's a force of nature.

I like old hurricane.

Nice fella.

- You know what he told me this morning?
- What?

He said he was thinking of coming to la.
And joining the force.

- You kidding?
- Honest to god.

He said he thought that me and him
and macintosh would make a hell of a team.

No shit.

He said he wanted to take a crack
at the big time.

Jesus, what did you say?

I told him it was an interesting idea.

That's the funniest thing I've ever heard.

Can you imagine that motherfucker
roaming around Parker centre?

He'd "put a stopper in the bottle."

That yokel would last ten minutes.

"Put a stopper in the bottle."

Hurricane, what are you doing back there?
You know no one's supposed to be back there.

- Just getting a candy bar, fern.
- You gonna pay for it this time?

Hey boys.

Saw your car parked out front.

Charlie come relieved me
about a half hour ago.

Dud, I didn't mean to put you
on the spot this morning.

Listen, Dale, we didn't mean...

Oh, that's me.

Yeah, this is 2-10, go ahead.

Hurricane, I just got back from little rock
with that picture.

10-4. That's us.

- You leave it.
- Yeah.

- Jimmy, you got it?
- Yeah.

That's ray.

And so that must be
our mystery girl, fantasia.

Her name's not fantasia.

It's Lila Walker.

Hey, pluto.

What's happening, man?

How you doing, beaver?

They're cool.

Come on in.

- Come on in.
- Go ahead.

This is fantasia. That's ray.

That's Joey.
And the whining one on the couch is Kim.

- She had a couple teeth yanked out.
- Fuck you, beaver.

Why don't you grab yourself a chair.

You want to sit down?

No that's all right. I'm fine.

So where's this multitude of coke?

- Where's Billy?
- He ain't here.

I can see that. But where is he?

Well he's, uh...
He's still in New Orleans.

New Orleans?

Well when's he gonna be here?

Tomorrow night.

He didn't tell me that
when I spoke to him.

Well, he got hung up.

He didn't know he was gonna get hung up
when he talked to you on the phone.

We'll wait for him.

We can't do that wait. We can't wait.
We gotta go.

No, we'll wait till tomorrow.

We'll stay here.

Pluto, I don't think that's
such a good idea.

You know, we don't have much room,
and uh...

Yeah, man, what the fuck, man.

You know... you can, uh...

You can have my room.

I've slept on the couch before.

Fuck you, beaver. I'm not moving.

Would you give me the phone.

I swear to god, sometimes I don't think
you got a fucking brain in your head.

Ray, I'm going to star city. The
only reason I got involved in this shit,

because you promised me we'd get some money
that I could go home and see my people.

Yeah well that's before
all this shit happened wasn't it.

Now it's about time we got
where we're going.

I don't see what the problem is.

All ya'll gotta do is come through
and pick me up, it's on the way.

You know goddamn well that pluto's
not gonna do that, don't you.

You heard what the man said.

I think it's a good idea.

If she goes ahead of us,
it'll be safer to travel.

We won't fit the description so easily.

No problem.

Ain't that some shit.

You gonna be able to make it
a whole day without me, baby?

I don't know.

Looks to me like just her brother
and mama's there.

What kind of people are they?

Good people. Christian people.

I can't believe she got mixed up
in shit like this.

Hurricane, I'm still unclear
how you know this Lila Walker?

Well, sir, I arrested her
for shoplifting once.

She was just a kid in high school.

All she took was some lipstick
and that shit they put on their eyes.

Wasn't worth ten bucks.

I could tell right off she wasn't bad,
just sort of high-spirited.

So I decided to try to help her out.
You know, talk to her.

Then one day, she just up and disappeared.

Somebody said...

She'd decided to take off for Hollywood.
Become a movie star.

Anyway, that was about five years ago.

That's the last I heard of her till now.

She's come a long way
from ripping off lipstick.

I don't believe she killed anybody.

That kid in the closet. She opens the door,
sees him, then close the damn door.

I mean...

That proves she's not a killer.

Pardon me, hurricane,
but that don't prove shit.

So, do we talk to the mother?

- What if she tips off Lila?
- She wouldn't do that.

She wouldn't do that, not Lila.

Have you heard from Lila?

No, I haven't. Not since last summer.

Some time around June, July.

Mr. Dixon, you know Lila. She wouldn't do
what they're saying she did.

They must have kidnapped her.
Brainwashed her.

Some of the best policemen in this country
are after Lila and those other two fellows.

Now, they're gonna catch them, too.

It'll go a whole lot better for Lila
if she turns herself in.

Chief Dixon is right, ma'am.

I can't make any promises,
but if your daughter cooperates with us,

that'll be taken into account later.

I haven't heard from her, but if I do,
I'll tell her what you said.

Ronnie, you heard from your sister?

No, sir.

Would you tell us if you had?

Yes, sir.

Grandma...

I'm hungry.

Byron, don't bother us now, honey.

Who's that?

That's Lila's boy.

Didn't you know Lila had a boy?

And he's a pretty boy, too.

Thanks for your time.
That's all we need for now.

You know, I don't think they're going
to Jeremiah's at all.

No, me either.
Fantasia's coming home to see her kid.

Hey hurricane, just how well
do you know this gal anyway?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

Ha ha, that's real fucking funny.

Goddamn her.

Ronnie.

Look at you. You've gone Hollywood.

Look at you, all grown up.

Stand back.
Let me have a look at you, girl.

Yeah, you still ugly.

I'm just playing. You look fine.

You know what, I'm feeling fine.

Gonna go see my baby. I'm going home.

You can't go home, Lila.
The cops are after you.

- What'd they say?
- Get in the car.

- I didn't do the things they said.
- Yeah, I know that, Lila.

Being on the run makes you look guilty.

I already look guilty.

Looking guilty is being guilty
for black people.

You know that. I won't get a fair trial.

I'm not going to no prison.

Lila, chief Dixon said the cops
that are after...

- Dale Dixon?
- Yeah.

He was the one that was by the house.

Used to know him, didn't you?

Yeah, I used to know him.

Ronnie, I ain't come all this way
not to see my baby.

Now...

They'll be watching our house...

So you gotta take me some place
outside of town.

Oh, Lila.

Then tonight you're gonna have to bring
my baby out to see me.

And then tomorrow I'll be gone.

Ronnie, please.

I'm your sister. I need your help.

Okay, Lila.

Okay.

A friend of mine's grand-mama died
a couple of months ago.

She had a house off the highway
past the bait shop.

There's no one living there now.

I'll be out there all night, honey,
so don't wait up for me.

Are dud and John going to be with you?

No, they're not gonna be with me.

We don't need 19 goddamn people
in a car to watch a house.

I don't mean know you're incapable
of watching a house...

Hey just 'cause I'm not from L.A.,
don't mean I can't watch a goddamn house.

Okay?

Okay.

I love you, okay.
You know that, don't you?

I know that.

And I love that little girl in that room
more than anything in this world.

I know that, too.

I would give you every dime
we talked about if I had the money.

The problem is, I just don't have it.

Your partner here's starting to
make me nervous.

Why don't you sit your
narrow ass down, ponytail.

Look, I know you guys are on the run.

You need everything you can get.
It's better than nothing, right?

Let's lighten up.
This town is hot, and so are you, brother.

You fucked up, man.

You're on every goddamn channel.

You got no one else out there
you can trust, but me.

And I'm gonna let you walk with one.

What I'm telling you
is take it or leave it.

Fucken

eight fucking dollars. Who cares?

Hey, wait a minute.
He's gotta have more money than that.

Let's go.

Pull over the entry to town, man.
We're splitting up.

What are you talking about?

Look just pull over, man.
Everything's fucked up.

I'll give you your half of the coke.

You give me my half of the money
and then I'm gone.

Man, that's bullshit.
I ain't doing that.

Ray, don't fuck with me.
Just give me my money.

I said I can't do that, man.
I don't have any money.

Say what?

I said I don't have any money.

Where's my fucking money, ray?

I said ain't got any money, man.
She took the fucking money.

I got $56. She took it.
Now let go before I have a wreck.

You're a pussy-whipped motherfucker.

Don't throw that shit on me.
That's your fucking buddies back there

that didn't have any goddamn money.

A good friend of yours, Billy, man.

What the fuck I'm doing with you, man.

You're a pussy-whipped,
sorry ass motherfucker!

If you want any money,
you're gonna have to go to Arkansas.

Come on Lila, we gotta go.

I know. Just give me
a few minutes with him, okay?

Come on, Lila.
It's almost 4:00 in the morning.

It's time for you to go home, go to bed
and get up and see your grandma, okay?

- Okay.
- I love you, honey. You'll be a good boy?

Give me a kiss good-bye.

- Come on, Lila.
- Bye.

Take care of my baby, okay?

- You gonna be all right?
- Yeah.

Ronnie, put the money in the bank, okay?

Ronnie, put the money in the bank, okay?

- How you doing, baby?
- Stop right there.

Turn around.
Put your hands on the counter.

Spread your legs.

Simon says.

Can I turn around now?

Why don't you just stay like that.

Where are your two pals?

Ray and pluto?

They'll be here soon.

How soon is that?

I don't know.

They have to call first.

How do I know you're not lying
to me right now?

How do I know they're not gonna
show up here any minute.

I'm not lying to you, Dale.

What're you gonna you do with me?

Go on, get in the other room.
Go on.

Go on to the living room.

- What are you doing?
- Sit down.

No, what are you doing?

There's some fellows from la.
That want to meet you, Lila.

- Dale, put the phone down please.
- Now who should I do that?

'Cause ray and pluto are gonna be calling
out here to see if everything is cool.

And I'm not gonna answer the phone
if you call those cops out here.

H yes, you are.

I won't.

Goddamn it!

Lila, even if I wanted
to, I can't help you.

I don't have the legal authority.

You didn't have the legal authority
to fuck me when I was 17 years old,

but that didn't stop you then, did it?

Yeah, that's right.

Instead of spying on me all night, why didn't
you come in here and say hello to your son?

He's not my kid.

Not your kid?
He's nearly as white as you are.

That don't prove nothing.

You're calling me a whore?

I was a virgin when we met
and you know it.

Hear the whippoorwill?

Remember what you told me
about when you hear a whippoorwill?

It means somebody's gonna die.

Home come we gotta sit here
in the dark like this?

'Cause I don't wanna be a sitting duck
if they show up out there.

I told you,
they won't be here until they call.

Where you going?

- Get my cigarettes, they in my purse.
- Get one of mine.

- I smoke menthol, baby. You know that.
- I'll get 'em.

I forgot that thing
was even in there, baby.

Ray gave me that for protection.

- I don't even know how it works.
- You pull the damn trigger.

Dale, why you looking at me like this for?

What'd you think I was gonna shoot you
or something? That's crazy.

Now can I have my cigarettes, please?

You have a light, baby?

Does that wife of yours treat you right?

Yeah, Lila, she does.

That's good.

What's her name again? Thelma Lou?

Cheryl Ann.

Oh, that's right.

And you and Cheryl Ann have a little girl.

What's her name?

Bonnie.

How old is she?

Eight.

You don't like talking with me
about your family, do you?

No, Lila, I don't guess I do.

I don't blame you.

- I got something for you.
- Where you going?

Don't shoot me, officer.

What the hell are you doing now?

- Can I turn on the light?
- No.

I put it in here so it wouldn't get stale.

Can we leave this open
so we can have some light?

This is our baby's birthday cake.

Here you go.

I don't want any.

Suit yourself.

It's good.

You should try some.

Today's his birthday?

No. It's in September.

I missed it.

I left him with mama
before he was two years old.

So that means I've missed four
of his birthdays...

So we celebrated all four of them,
last night.

Does your mama know about...

Know what?

No, I never told her.
I never meant you any trouble, Dale.

I still don't.

I bet Bonnie'd be surprised if she knew
she had a half-brother over in nigger town.

You know, you really should have
some of our baby's cake...

Quit calling him that.

Why? That's what he is.

Here.

Goddamn it, I told you I don't want any.

- Is this what you want?
- What are you doing?

- This is what you want isn't it.
- Come on, cut it out.

Cut it out, cut it out goddamn it!

Why did you ever fuck with me?

Me and my brother's daddy was white,
did you know that?

Of course, we never knew him.

He had another family.

But that's why I kind of look white.

Because my daddy was white.

Guess you figured since I kind of look
white, you could fuck me, what the hell.

Because I was kind of black...

You think you could dump me,
what the hell.

Two-11 to 2-10.

Two-11 to 2-10.

Two-11 to 2-10.

Dale, where you at?

Hey, June.

Juney! How you doing?

You got something for me?

How you do, Mr. Charlie.

Hello, is this Ronnie? Ronnie, this is ray.
Is fantasia there?

Yeah, Lila.

Where is she?

Have you got a number out there for her?

Yeah, listen. Give it to me, all right?

Ronnie! Ronnie, come here.

Ma'am.

- Come here.
- I got to go, man.

Ronnie.

Now, if you know something about
Lila being here, you tell these gentlemen.

Your sister's in trouble.
But I don't want you being in trouble.

No, ma'am.
I don't know nothing about that.

Ronnie.

June Hawkins just told me he was out most
of the night digging frogs south of town.

But when he was driving back,
he saw you driving along in front of him,

and that Byron, he was with you.

Now where had you and Byron been
at 4:00 A.M.?

We've been here all night.

June's mixed up. He's getting old.
He don't see very well.

Lying son of a bitch. I'll make the...

He's not gonna talk. It's his sister.

Can I speak to the boy?

- How are you this morning, Byron?
- Fine.

- Pretty sleepy?
- Yeah, I guess so.

Did you go stay some place
with your uncle Ronnie last night?

No.

You sure?

- You didn't see a lady, a pretty lady?
- No.

- You sure?
- Yeah.

- Did uncle Ronnie tell you to say that?
- Yeah.

- So this has just been pretend?
- Yeah.

What do you say we stop playing pretend
and play really?

Okay.

And you really ought to spend a night
or two in jail.

So you don't tell your sister.

You got to let me go.

I can't do that, Lila.

You can't let 'em put me in jail.

What's gonna happen
to our baby with me in jail?

Your mom will keep taking care of him.

I'll start giving her money for him.

Why don't you just give him the money?

Why don't you just say,
"Byron, I'm your daddy"?

Huh?

I don't see how that would...

Yeah, I guess it wouldn't be a good idea,
would it.

I guess it would be better
just go on put me in jail...

And forget about your five-year-old son.

Hello.

Hi, baby.

Yeah, everything's cool.

Everything's real cool.

Where are you calling from?

Okay.

What's the name of the gas station?

Mm-hmm.

Ray, you already missed the turnoff.

It's about half a mile back up the highway.

You turn right at this place
called cothern's bait shop.

There's a little road there.

You're not far, baby.
Just about ten minutes away. Hurry.

Yeah, I miss you.

Is that the road, Byron?

- I don't think so.
- You don't think so?

Lila, when they get here, get 'em inside
the house and away from the car.

Open the door, wave at 'em, talk to 'em.
Just let me see everything's okay.

Than I want you to go back in the kitchen
and stay there till I tell you to come out.

That way, in case they get trigger-happy,
you'll be out of the line of fire.

And then you'll let me go?

I'll let you go.

Byron, is that the road you went down?

Look, don't go in there fucking around.
In and out. You got me?

What do you think I'm gonna do?
Don't worry about it, all right?

You sure this is it?

You got it straight?

Hi, baby.

Come on, fantasia, let's go.

It'll be a few minutes, ray.
I gotta pack my stuff up.

What the hell you gonna pack? All you
had was that little old goddamn purse.

It won't be long. Ya'll come on in.

I'm gonna be right back.

That's bullshit. I'm sticking on your ass.

She better not bought any fucking clothes.

How much she got to pack?

- Come on.
- Be careful, honey. I love you.

Better not have spent any of my damn money.

Fantasia? Where'd she go?

Police officers, freeze!
Get your hand up goddamnit.

I'll blow you to fucking hell!

- What the fuck is this? Who the hell are you?
- Shut up. Get on the goddamn floor! Now!

- Who the fuck are you?
- Be cool.

- Goddamnit. You fucking bitch!
- Shut up!

Shut up!

- The fuck did you do this for, huh?
- I'm sorry, baby,

Lila, stay back!

No!

Two-10.

Two-10. A-1, channel 1.
Come in, goddamn it. Hurry up.

Hurricane, where in the hell you been?
What's going on?

I need help out here.

What's your 10-20?

Oh, god.

Dale, what's your 20? Where are you?

I'm off the highway,
two miles down sulphur Springs road.

There's a... there's a house.
In the woods, there's this house...

Is there an address?

Goddamnit, I don't know
if there's a goddamn address.

Just get some help our here.
And an ambulance.

I got three suspects down
and I'm hurt pretty bad.

Three suspects down.

Sulphur Springs road,
do you know where that is Charlie?

Yeah. Hold on tight.

- Oh, sweet Jesus.
- Dale.

- Charlie, do something.
- Oh, shit.

Dud, come on! Charlie got it.
Charlie's taking care of it. Come on!

This is 2-11 to base. Two-11 to base.

I need an ambulance out here
on sulphur Springs road right away.

That son of a bitch nailed them.

Hey, man.

Hang in there.
We got an ambulance on the way.

I'm gonna run in the house
and get you some blankets okay?

Are you dead, mister?

- Hmm?
- Are you dead, mister?

No...

- Not quite.
- Where's the lady at?

She's over there.

Don't go away. Come back.
Come back here and stay with me.

- Just stay here with me.
- How did you get blood on yourself?

I got in a fight.

What do you do with your keys?

I lock things up.

Come here. I can't see your face.

Come here a little closer.

Your name...

Is Byron.

You're five years old.

Four or five?

Five.

Yeah just come sit with me here.

Yeah, okay.
